So many legendary bands are coming to Minnesota this summer - especially in July. (Wanna see the Concert Calendar? We've got you covered) We just found out that Peter Frampton and the Steve Miller Band are coming here for TWO shows - July 22nd and July 23rd. Get the details here.

Also just announced, Alice Cooper and Deep Purple are going on tour together this year with Edgar Winter Group. They have 19 shows lined up for North America, but nothing has been announced for Minnesota yet.

Sadly we have lost another lifetime rock-and-roller Geoff Nicholls, who played keyboard for Black Sabbath. He played with the band for 25 years, and passed away at the age of 68 from lung cancer.
